Exchange sweepstakes to give Ironman Hawaiian vacation

Foster Grant is partnering with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service to offer military shoppers in the Continental United States an opportunity to win a trip for two to the Ironman Triathlon World Championship Oct. 12-13 in Hawaii. The winner will receive airfare, transportation and expenses for the trip. The approximate retail value of the prize package is $2,800.

“Enter early and often,” said the Exchange’s Senior Enlisted Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson. “The competition for this contest is sure to be as fierce as the actual event.”

From May 24-June 30, authorized shoppers 18 years and older can run, bike or swim to their nearest participating Exchange for a chance to win the Ironman sweepstakes, which will be awarded on or about July 12. No purchase is necessary to enter.
